About Cloud Runner: An Adventure Exploration Duology (Path of Mist Book 1):
The Cloud Runners live on a patch of grassland between the mountains and the desert. Many years ago, the Goddess created a path through the clouds to bring them here, fleeing death and destruction. With game in the grasslands and woodlands and safe from any enemies, the Cloud Runners prospered.
Now overhunting has killed all the game, and foragers have stripped the woodland clean. It would seem the Goddess has turned her back on them, and as the last tribal treasures are traded away for food, starvation threatens.
Jermyn, a youth of only ten and five years, is fed up with watery stew. Though not a hunter, he has his heart set on a turkey. He finds a path in a patch of mist and follows it to a tiny hunter’s paradise.
Secrets about the mist, his family, and his heritage underscore how far his tribe has fallen, who is to blame, and why his talent must remain a secret.
With snow covering the countryside, empty storehouses, and enemies on every side, Jermyn’s strange talent is all that stands between the Cloud Runners and extinction.

Author Bio:
Vance Huxley lives out in the countryside in Lincolnshire, England. He has spent a busy life working in many different fields. Eventually, Vance tried writing though without any real structure.
Then he actually sent one off to be read which delivered at least one bucket of very cold water (but a polite and informative bucket). As an editor and beta readers explained the difference between words and books, he tried again.
Now he tries to type as often as possible in spite of the assistance of his cats, since he is no longer mobile. An avid reader of sci-fi, fantasy, and adventure novels, so his writing tends toward those genres.
He also spends much too long wandering off down those fascinating blind alleys that the internet produces when researching, but oh, the little treasures at the end of some!
